Oh I remember that now!!!!! Goodness it must be 25 years since I last sang that ... I must ask my sister if she remembers it.
Old MacDonald: instead of going "moo moo here, moo moo there," you sing "He had short cows, tall cows, tall cows, short cows, thin cows, fat cows, fat cows, thin cows" - moving your hands apart each time to indicate this.
Tingalayo, come little donkey come - it's in a couple of the song books.
Woodpecker's hole is too hard to do right now cos I'm being hassled by a small boy!

Pizza Hut.... is this the variant on Ram Sam Sam? We taught my Brownies one that had actions to go with all the fast food places.

Yes, it's Ram Sam Sam about fast food. And there are other verses too ...
A ford escort, a ford escort
a mini mini mini and a ford escort
A ford escort, a ford escort
a mini mini mini and a ford escort
Ferarri Ferarri
a mini mini mini and a ford escort
Ferarri Ferarri
a mini mini mini and a ford escort
The actions are: ordinary steering wheel for the ford
Scrunch yourself down a bit and make the steering wheel smaller for the mini
Zoom your hand from your shoulder right to the front (as though casting a spell!) for ferrari.
Bit gloomy, we should have been at camp this week. So, nice to be singing here!

That version of Old MacDonald was converted to "Lord Longleat had a game reserve" with big lions, little lions etc, hippos, jaguars, elks, zebra, you get the idea. I think that's one we shared with our Cub pack. Actions were stretching tall and short, wide and narrow.
It's great to find these songs again.

I am rather sure from the lyrics and the rythm they make that we have a Danish version of the Ram Sam Sam thing
It involves picking chicken legs and shrimps!
Then we heard a Scottish one about fluffy white sheep but I didn't have enough wits about me to get the words properly noted.
On the way home. Tired, most likely smelly. But glad

Sleep very well indeed, Santra 
That's a point - I do have the end of camp feeling right now, even if it's not actually camp I've been experiencing for the past week

Haven't been to an actual camp in years. Been leading Brownies so it means you don't camp as much as Guides. Haven't decided if I miss getting flooded out, eated by bugs, and sleeping on lumpy ground.
Funny that everyone knows different verses to Ram Sam Sam and the actions vary slightly too.
